Hi All


What is the best Leonard Cohen biography? What is your favourite?


Curious to know.

Thank you All

I would say, skip the biographies, and just listen to his songs. All the rest is just window dressing.

Hi shootingstar,

My favorite, to date, is I'm Your Man by Sylvie Simmons - beautifully written & lots of interesting information.

I totally agree with Holydove - Sylvies biography is undoubtedly the best. The Ira Nadel biography ' Various Positions ' is very well written , but finishes in the second half of the nineties. One of the Jim Devlin books , think it's In Every Style of Passion , is also enjoyable and worth a read if you can find a copy second hand. Sylvia also performs Leonard's songs , and very enjoyably too !
